Region
Samtskhe — Javakheti features volcanic plateaus, highland lakes, and dry foothills. Open, often cool habitats differ from Colchic west Georgia — nose-horned, Darevsky’s, and steppe vipers occur here; Caucasian viper is recorded in the Borjomi gorge.
Only confirmed records are added to region pages. If a species’ link to a specific administrative unit has not yet been confirmed by a source, it will not appear in the relevant list.
Transcaucasian long-nosed viper (Vipera transcaucasiana), Darevsky’s viper (Vipera darevskii), steppe viper (Vipera renardi), and in the Borjomi gorge Caucasian viper (Vipera kaznakovi) are venomous. Darevsky’s viper is critically endangered and confined to the Javakheti–Erusheti highlands.
